SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells. -

Date: 8/25/95 4:14:00 PM From: Anodaewyn1 Posted on: America Online Now, maybe I'm missing something... but, the only book that I have for the Mystara setting is the Dragonlord series. Just the two. Are there others? ~~J Subj: Re:Mystara books? Date: 8/25/95 4:40:24 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online There should only be three (Dragonlords, Dragonkings, and Knights of Mystara coming out in November).

This has to do with adapting a campaign setting to firearms and swashbucklers. In general this Page 1 of 170 MYSTARA MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 25th Aug 1995 to 12th March 1996 affects the use of firearms vs. armor, and secret fencing passes favoring skilled swordsmen with rapiers and main gauche. I'm just looking for comments and opinions. Thanks. Bruce Heard Subj: Re:Mystara books? Date: 8/25/95 8:53:30 PM From: Anodaewyn1 Posted on: America Online okay cool....thanks for the info. -
DRAGONLANCE! Actually, the Name of the World Is Krynn
Another world, another adventure. Another reality to explore, a thrilling new … library? A library, complete with the faintly musty smell of old tomes. Long tall stacks of books, scrolls, and tablets run the length of the chamber you find yourself in. Seated at a desk near the back of the chamber is a lone figure. He scratches away with quill and ink on a scroll, pausing only to wet his quill in a small inkpot and look into a crystal globe located to his left. “Astinus of Palanthas, Master of the Library of Palanthas and Historian of Krynn. He keeps a record of everything that happens here. Everything of note, at least. Most people think he’s immortal or some kind of god. No one seems to know for certain, though.” No one? Your Benefactor smiles one of those little smiles you’ve become so familiar with. “Well, maybe not no one. Maybe you’ll figure it out and tell me all about it?” Seemingly bored with that train of thought, your Benefactor turns away from you and runs their hands along the stacks. “So here we are: DRAGONLANCE! Actually, the name of the world is Krynn. Dragonlance is the title given to the intellectual property created, ‘created,’ by Margret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. So, if you’d like to take a minute to read up on what this place is about, now’s the time and here’s the place to do it. Or I can just give you the Chain’s Notes. Get it? Chain’s Notes? It’s like Cliff’s Notes, but … never mind.” “In the beginning was The High God and from the Beyond he called forth Paladine, Gilean and Takhisis, good, neutral and evil gods respectively. -

Hey, folks, I have a special treat for you guys. AD&D Dragonlance game designers Colin McComb and Tim Beach have agreed to join us for a Q&A session! Colin was a designer for the Tales of the Lance boxed set, as well as Knight's Sword, Taladas: the Minotaurs, and Unsung Heroes. You can see his various RPG credits here . Tim was designer for Flint's Axe, has additional design credits for Taladas: the Minotaurs, and was a designer for Unsung Heroes. You can see Tim's various RPG credits here .

Colin and Tim will be able to answer as time permits. I ask that everyone please be respectful of our guests and their time. 1. First of all, how did you two get involved in Dragonlance? 2. Colin, tell us about the Tales of the Lance boxed set. What brought it about? Was it challenging writing a new sourcebook for Dragonlance? 3. What were the design goals of Tales of the Lance? 4. Colin, tell us about writing Knight's Sword. 5. Tim, tell us about writing Flint's Axe. How closely did it tie into Flint, the King? Did you and Colin coordinate on this project? 6. -
